"5000 Gold Soul Coins!!"
An aged yet forceful voice suddenly rang out, instantly astonishing everyone present!
Including Lin Ziyi, everyone turned to look toward seat number ninety-nine in the last row.
Although the others could not make out the person's appearance or build,
Lin Ziyi could see that he was short and sturdy, clad in armor that was not particularly lavish but carried an extraordinary aura.
His snowy white hair showed that he was already quite old.
Yet his sharp little eyes remained fixed on the Peacock Plume before him, blazing with incomparable fervor!
Looking at his demeanor, bearing, and that fervent obsession with the Peacock Plume,
Lin Ziyi guessed that this person was the maker of the Mystic Ice Sacred Armor he had obtained not long ago—the Divine Craftsman Lou Gao!
He had not expected Lou Gao to come to this auction as well.
No wonder the system matched bidders according to the auction items. It had clearly invited those most likely to be interested in the items based on "big data"!
This system really was quite intelligent...
As Lou Gao called out his price, Golden Crocodile Douluo could not help opening his mouth!
He had thought buying the first auction item for 4000 Gold Soul Coins had already been a huge loss, yet someone was actually willing to bid higher!
Golden Crocodile Douluo had already regretted being tricked into it, so now that someone had raised the price, he could not wait to let the other man have it!
Just as everyone expected, no one bid against the old man this time, and Lou Gao successfully obtained the auction item.
When the Peacock Plume floated before the old man, he immediately held it in his palms as though it were a priceless treasure, the light in his eyes growing ever more fervent!
From afar, he had already sensed the extraordinary nature of this Soul Tool through a Divine Craftsman's intuition.
Now that he could inspect it up close, he discovered that it was a hundred times more exquisite than he had imagined!
Whether it was the precision of its parts, the ingenious arrangement of its mechanisms,
or the many unfamiliar forms of machinery... all of it made his scalp tingle and sent his adrenaline soaring!
He truly wanted to leave the auction house immediately, return to his little dark room, and take this treasure apart to see what kind of construction lay within!
As long as he could thoroughly study it, his forging ability would absolutely rise to a new level!!
However, Lou Gao knew very well that anyone capable of putting such an item up for auction could not possibly be ordinary!
Furthermore, that fool in seat sixty-nine had already tested the waters for them earlier.
Naturally, Lou Gao had to remain patient and see whether there would be more Soul Tools like this later.
If there were, he would buy them even if it meant spending every last coin he had!
At this moment, Lin Ziyi had no idea what Lou Gao was thinking.
Because the system had already begun asking him to choose his reward for completing this auction.
Between half of the 5000 Gold Soul Coins and the Peacock Plume, Lin Ziyi chose the latter without hesitation!
After all, he had only recently won 5000 Gold Soul Coins at the Great Soul Arena.
Although he had spent several dozen over the past two days accompanying Tushan Lingling sightseeing and playing around, he still had more than five thousand left, which was enough for now.
But with the Peerless Hidden Weapon, the Peacock Plume, Tushan Lingling's combat ability could be further enhanced!
Even when facing a Level 97 or 98 Super Douluo, she would not be inferior!
Ding—Congratulations, host, on obtaining the Peerless Hidden Weapon: Peacock Plume! Congratulations, host, on completing an auction. Reward: Soul Power Level increased by 1. Current level: Level 9.
As the system's words ended, a second sphere of light swiftly formed atop the auction platform.
Lin Ziyi reached out and touched it. The barrier on the surface of the sphere immediately dissipated, revealing an emerald-green fruit before everyone!
The fruit was the size of an adult's fist. As the barrier vanished, a surging vitality immediately flowed out from within it and spread in all directions!
Everyone present could not help taking a deep breath!
Just the aura it emitted made them feel refreshed and thoroughly invigorated!
If it were absorbed, would it not greatly strengthen their vitality and even extend their lifespan?!
Amid everyone's anticipation, Lin Ziyi quickly introduced it:
"This item is called the Grass Spirit Fruit, and it possesses incomparably abundant vitality!
"If carried on one's person, it can continuously strengthen the body and accelerate cultivation!
"If consumed directly, even a Titled Douluo-level powerhouse can rise by one level immediately, so long as they are not above Level 95!
"As for those below the Titled Douluo realm, the lower their level, the more levels they will gain!
"The starting bid for this item is 2000 Gold Soul Coins! Each raise must be no less than 500 Gold Soul Coins!"
As Lin Ziyi revealed the fruit's effects, the entire venue instantly erupted!
"Even an ordinary Titled Douluo can rise by a level directly?! How is this thing even more outrageous than the first item?"
"If this thing is real, then the bottleneck I've been stuck at for years at Level 29 should be broken through immediately, right?!"
"This Misty Auction House really seems to have some serious goods..."
While everyone was discussing it heatedly, someone had already lost patience and raised his hand:
"3000 Gold Soul Coins!"
"3500!"
"4500!"
"6000!!"
As soon as the number "6000" was called out, the pace of bidding immediately slowed!
6000 Gold Soul Coins was already the price that the woman in the qipao had paid for the Level 95 Fox Demon at the previous auction.
However, since it had been the first auction and there had only been ten bidders, the final price had not risen too high.
If it had been at this auction, a Super Douluo would have cost far more than this!
"7000 Gold Soul Coins."
The one who spoke this time was a middle-aged man with an imposing and domineering appearance.
Upon hearing that this fruit could raise a Titled Douluo below Level 95 by one level, his heart had long been pounding wildly as though he had been granted a second youth!
Because he himself was currently at Level 95! And he had been stuck at this realm for many years!
He was none other than the current old sect master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School—Yu Yuanzhen, already in his eighties!
Although the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School was still one of the Upper Three Sects, it had always ranked third.
He knew very well that he was the only Titled Douluo remaining in their clan.
If he could not advance any further, he would likely pass away within a few years.
Without a Titled Douluo, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School might not even be able to hold on to third place...
Therefore, if he could obtain this Grass Spirit Fruit, he would have a great chance of breaking through to Level 96!
At that point, both his strength and lifespan would increase greatly, allowing him to protect the sect for several more years!
As the price of "7000" pulled far ahead, hardly anyone present was willing to keep bidding.
Although Golden Crocodile Douluo had the means to continue,
he was already Level 98. Even if he consumed this Grass Spirit Fruit, he could not advance to Level 99.
As for spending money to buy it for the other enshriners, that was even less necessary, because none of the seven enshriners were below Level 95!
Lin Ziyi watched as the stage gradually fell silent and saw that no one was raising the bid anymore.
Although he did not know Yu Yuanzhen, he could tell that this man was extraordinary and heroic, surely the leader of some great clan!
As the octopus-tentacle-like auction hammer in his hand struck the base three times, a delighted smile immediately appeared on Lin Ziyi's face:
"Congratulations to guest number twenty-two. This Grass Spirit Fruit belongs to you!"
As the auction concluded, the system's reward notification soon rang out in Lin Ziyi's mind once more!
